-Young author ! -Transferred from PCM to Humanities -IFS over IAS -took this exam as a source of knowledge about India rather than just a exam !! Sir , you are an inspiration !!!
I would seriously request unacademy to do a roundtable sorts of 4 to 5 toppers so that we get different perspectives from different toppers about the same subject in a single video! That will be really helpful.

Finally an interview which was helpful and more importantly it makes one feel confident in his own style. "An interview for Headspace, rather then being only factual."
After this please bring Anudeep Durishetty UPSC CSE 2017 AIR 1. Please !!
